African Trio Left Heartbroken At Middleborough
African trio Albert
Adomah, Kenneth Omeruo and Emilio Nsue were left heartbroken as Middlesbrough lost 2-0 to Norwich City in the Championship playoff final at Wembley on Monday.
Cameron Jerome and Nathan Redmond scored in the opening 15 minutes for the Canaries, who bounced right back into the Barclays Premier League after they were relegated 12 months ago.
Ghana wide-man Adomah played 51 times for Boro, scoring six goals and assisting four during the 2014/2015 season.
Omeruo, who spent the season on-loan from top flight champions Chelsea, made 22 appearances for middlesbrough, failed to make the match day squad for the final.
For Nsue, promotion to the top flight would have seen him become the first player from Equatorial Guinea to play in the Premier League.
It was not to be, though, as Sebastien Bassong’s Norwich climbed back into England’s top tier where they will join Tokelo Rantie’s Bournemouth and Odion Ighalo’s Warford.
